Dilution Recommendation: Further dilutions should be made in medium or buffered solution containing carrier protein such as PBS with 0.1% BSA.
Storage: Store human IFN-Alpha 2 at -70°C. Upon initial thawing, apportion contents into working aliquots and store at -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles.
Interferon alpha-2b is a cytokine that belongs to the type I interferon family and is encoded by a gene cluster on chromosome 9. It is produced in response to viral infection and plays a key role in the innate immune response, exhibiting potent antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory properties. Interferon alpha-2b binds to a plasma membrane receptor consisting of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2, which is expressed ubiquitously in the body and can thus act on virtually all cells. This cytokine is effective in reducing the symptoms and duration of the common cold, and has shown efficacy in treating various types of cancer, including hematological malignancies and solid tumors. A deficiency of type I interferon in the blood is considered a hallmark of severe COVID-19, and a combination therapy involving interferon alpha-2b may be a potential therapeutic approach. IFNA2 has been associated with diseases such as Severe Covid-19 and Hepatitis B.
